2018 Annual Meeting Information

Greetings NEMSIS Stakeholders:

The mission of the NEMSIS TAC is to enable EMS systems nationwide to collect and make available for use all relevant data to ensure the best possible patient outcomes. As we strive to achieve this mission, we are mindful of the committed efforts of our NEMSIS stakeholders; we could not do this important work without your expertise and support. The meeting was truly a working meeting as we focused on revisions to Version 3 Data Standard. We thank you for joining us for the NEMSIS Annual Meeting which was hosted this year at the Silver Baron Lodges at Deer Valley in Park City, Utah on August 20th – 21st, 2018.

NHTSA’s Office of EMS Data Use Video

“The NHTSA Office of EMS has created an engaging two-minute animated video that follows EMS data from the moment they are collected at the scene to when they are analyzed and used to improve care from the local to the national level. The video, intended for all members of the EMS community, highlights the importance of collecting and sharing accurate information, and the numerous ways agencies, policymakers, researchers and others use it.”  Check out the EMS Data Use Video
